Manitou Group has launched its NewAg XL telehandler model which is the fourth model in the NewAg XL range, following the launch of the MLT 841, 1041 and 961. Source: Timberbiz
Designed for very intensive use, in particular the loading of bulk cargo, cereals, wood chips and silage, the MLT 850 is also perfect for handling straw bales and big bags.
This model offers more than 600 Nm of torque, with a pull force of more than 9,160 daN. The high movement speed provided by the 200 l/min LSU pump is complemented by a bucket breakout force of over 8,670 daN.
Combined with a high-capacity tank, the user can work with the best flow rate all day long without interruption. To optimize efficiency, the HighView camera installed on the boom head makes it possible to monitor the trailer fill level directly from the cab.
The M-Vario Plus continuous variable transmission allows the machine’s behaviour to be adjusted to suit every need, thanks to the comfort and dynamic modes.
The user can now steer the machine effortlessly using a mini-joystick in order to reduce fatigue and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders linked to repetitive steering wheel use. This is a major step forward in terms of ergonomics and productivity in the telehandler market.
In order to provide its users with the ultimate in comfort, Manitou Group has followed the requirements of the NewAg XL range with a cab that is spacious yet quiet thanks to excellent sound insulation, which limits the noise level to just 69 dBA.
The cab has also been raised compared with the lower capacity NewAg XL models to maximize visibility. The large roof grille with its angled slats and the optional Safeview dual cameras complete these innovations for a 360° view around the machine on the dashboard display.
To facilitate access to the cab, the two Easy-step steps combined with the under-door lighting make getting in and out even safer, day or night.
The MLT 850 NewAg XL also comes as standard with JSM Autopower (available with the M-Vario Plus transmission), which automatically adjusts the required engine speed to the hydraulic movements controlled via the JSM. This reduces fuel consumption and operator fatigue.
The MLT 850 has Stop & Start as standard. This function reduces fuel consumption and noise emissions by switching off the engine when the machine is at a standstill, without the operator needing to do anything (automatic restart). The hour meter is therefore based on actual hours worked, thus spacing out maintenance with an oil change every 1,000 hours and increasing the machine’s residual value.
To simplify maintenance in heavy-duty applications, the self-cleaning air pre-filter located above the engine compartment reduces the cleaning frequency of the main air filter.
The engine compartment opens in two parts to provide easy access to major components. A quick-release panel also allows you to blow away debris and dust in front of the radiators.
The MLT-X 850 (Stage IIIA) telehandlers will be delivered to Manitou dealerships from the second quarter of 2023 worldwide.
